Chapter 11: The Epidemic
"Master, the patient just said that the people in Weijia Village are in this situation. In the past few days, we have received patients who have been treated as if they were common colds, but now it seems that it is not as simple as we thought. Wei Xin'er said with a frown.
This is certainly not a simple cold, if the symptoms of one or two people are like this, then she doesn't have to think about it so much. But now many people are like this, so it is necessary for her to wonder if this is an epidemic.
"Little junior sister, don't think too much, you just studied medicine with Master, so you may not know much about these symptoms. I think it's just an ordinary cold, not worth mentioning. Ning Xingsun said with some disdain. This is obviously a common cold, and this woman has to say that it is so serious.
"Senior brother, the patients we have received in the past few days are all like this, haven't you thought about it carefully?" Wei Xin'er retorted.
The patients these days are all symptomatic, and as a modern person, she knows the epidemic very well. But this senior brother didn't know what the reason was, he had been sneering at her since the first day she came here. But as a little junior sister, she can't say anything.
But fortunately, the second senior brother is still very good to her. Whatever she does, he'll help him.
When Ning Xingsun heard Wei Xin'er say this, her heart became even more uncomfortable. Originally, the master accepted this female apprentice, but he was not happy, but now she still dares to talk to him like this.
"Okay, let's take a closer look at this matter, right? As a doctor, it is our duty to save lives and help the wounded. Since there are suspicions, shouldn't we just observe the patients more in the past few days? It's not unreasonable to be suspicious, and I think these people are a bit like they have the epidemic. Cheng Langzhong interrupted.
What Xin'er said is indeed reasonable, and the symptoms of these people are indeed like the epidemic. If it's just a common cold, then why are there so many patients all of a sudden?
"Master, the patient just told me that everyone in Weijia Village has this symptom. It just so happened that Weijia Village was the apprentice's hometown, so the apprentice wanted to take a period of leave with the master and go back to his hometown to have a look. Wei Xin'er said with some worry. If it is really like what the patient said just now, then the people in her family do not know if they have contracted the epidemic.
And she hasn't been home since she came out to study medicine with her master. What the home is like now, she has no idea what it looks like. Although before leaving, the second aunt agreed to help her take care of her mother and sister. But her father, she still can't rest assured.
"Senior sister, you've just been here to study medicine for a long time before you're ready to go home. Brother, I haven't been home for years. If you can't persevere, I advise you to go back as soon as possible, so as not to waste time here. Ning Xingsun glanced at Wei Xin'er and said.
A girl is a girl, and she doesn't have much potential. I think when he came out to study medicine, he didn't plan to go home in a short time.
"Senior brother, how can you say that junior sister is like this, junior sister is doing this way, isn't it also to determine whether this cold is an epidemic or not?" Xia Yuyan said with some unbearable eyes.
This time the symptoms are indeed a bit like an epidemic, and if they can't be sure at this time, then when it really spreads, it will be really bad.
"Since the people in Weijia Village are like this, then you should go back first. By the way, if you go back alone, and you don't feel at ease as a teacher, let your second senior brother go back with you. I can't be busy as a teacher alone, so let your senior brother stay and accompany you as a teacher. Cheng Langzhong nodded and said.
If this is really the case in Weijia Village, then they have to make some preparations in advance. Once the epidemic spreads, it will be very scary. As long as there is one person, then it can infect everyone in the village.
And this thing is quite troublesome to treat, if they can stop him at the beginning, then these patients will not be in danger of life.
"Senior sister, is this your home?" Xia Yuyan looked at the village in front of him and asked.
"Yes, let's go inside, it's getting late." As he spoke, Wei Xin'er stopped paying attention to Xia Yuyan and strode forward. She didn't have the time to deal with him now, and the family didn't know what had become of her, so she might as well go in and take a look.
"Sister, are you back?" Wei Xiaomei looked at the person in front of her and said in surprise.
"What, what did you say, your sister is back?" At this time, he was packing up his things in the house, and when Wei Wenshi heard Wei Xiaomei's voice, he immediately put down the things in his hand and walked out.
Originally, she didn't believe what Wei Xiaomei said, but now that she saw Wei Xin'er in front of her, her heart fell. Since the last time she said that she was going to follow Lang to learn a doctor, it has been a few months. In the past few months, she has been worried about her safety every day, and now that she is in front of her, her tears can't help but fall.
"Mother, aren't I coming back? What are you crying about? Hurry up and wipe the tears off your face. If we have something, let's go into the house and talk about it, and stop being watched by outsiders. With that, Wei Xin'er helped Wei Wenshi to prepare to enter the house.
"Sister, who is this brother?" Wei Xiaomei looked at the man standing behind her sister and asked with some confusion. Who is this person and why did he come back with his sister.
Hearing Wei Xiaomei's words, Wei Xin'er remembered that she didn't come back alone this time, so she hurriedly said to Wei Wenshi, "Mother, this is my second senior brother, we came back this time to follow Master's arrangement and come back for consultation." ”
"Oh, that's what it looks like. Come on, come in, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Wei Wenshi wiped the tears from his face with some embarrassment.
But just as they were about to go inside, a familiar voice came from behind them: "Who are you, and why are you in my house?"
At this moment, Wei Daniu has just returned from a day's work and returned from the field. He had already noticed these two men when he was in the field. Because there were few outsiders in their village, he looked at it twice at that time.
"Father, it's me, Wei Xin'er." Wei Xin'er turned around and said to Wei Da Niu with a smile.
"It turned out to be Xin'er, didn't you go out to study medicine? Why did you come back at this time? Also, who is this son? I think he's supposed to be back with you, right? As soon as he heard Wei Xin'er's voice, Wei Daniu's tone instantly lowered.
After the incident last time, he was still a little jealous of Wei Xin'er, after all, he was a general, wasn't he? But the general seems to have not been here since that visit, and I don't know if his eldest daughter is still in contact with him.
"Oh, I came back this time because there was something, this is my senior brother, and Master sent him back with me." Wei Xin'er said with a cold face. The last thing she wanted to see was her father, if it weren't for him, then their family wouldn't be what it is now.
However, she went home this time, not for this matter, she went home this time for more important things to do. From the moment she entered, she began to observe the condition of her mother and sister. She found that her mother and sister were not infected with the epidemic. But what exactly they are like needs to be carefully observed by her and her senior brother before they can have results.
"That's what it looks like, so please come in." With that, Wei Daniu invited them in.
After a few days of investigation, Wei Xin'er was even more sure that this was the epidemic, but she didn't expect that what she was thinking about really happened, and now, she had to go back quickly to discuss countermeasures with her master. The epidemic is not to be underestimated, once it spreads, it will kill many people.
"Second Senior Brother, it seems that this is really an epidemic." Wei Xin'er said with a frown.
"Yes, these people have exactly the same symptoms as the doctors say. But why is there a plague this season? Xia Yuyan asked with some puzzlement. Now is not the time of the epidemic to be at its peak, why did it appear so suddenly?
"This kind of thing is not something we can control. Besides, the epidemic is not only related to the season, it has many factors. Wei Xin'er looked at the second senior brother and said. The epidemic does not mean that it will only appear in that season, it is due to many reasons.
It's just that the current medical skills are not up to the technology of their time, and the peak season of the epidemic is spring, but at other times, it will also appear. These days have to be said according to people's living habits, and under the current conditions, the epidemic will happen anytime and anywhere.
"So what do we do now? Do you want to go back and tell Master to come over? Xia Yuyan lowered his head and asked. What the junior sister said is not wrong, the epidemic is indeed difficult to control.
"Well, let's go back, there's nothing we can do about the two of us here. We have already told them what we can teach them these days. And the medicine has been dispensed with them, so while the epidemic has not yet broken out, let's hurry back and discuss countermeasures with Master." Wei Xin'er nodded and said.
Now the only way is to go back and discuss with Master how to solve this matter. If she only relied on her strength, she would never be able to handle this matter. In front of them, this situation is only happening in Weijia Village, and they don't know about it elsewhere.
Perhaps, just like Weijia Village, this situation has appeared in many places. So now they still go back and discuss with Master how to prepare this medicine. Although she has also prescribed some medicine in the past few days, the effect of this medicine is not so obvious, and she doesn't know what the problem is.
Xia Yuyan looked at Wei Xin'er's frowning brows, and felt distressed in his heart. In the past few days, the little junior sister has not slept well for several days for the sake of the epidemic, as a man, he can't hold on a little, not to mention that the little junior sister is a woman? When the epidemic is solved, he must make up for the little junior sister.
